THREE-FACE SINGLE-BLANK-DISPLAY CONTAINER.

Applicationfiled November 4, 1922 Serial No. 599,062.

To all whom it my concern:

Be it known that I, EDWARD VIEIRA, a citizen of the United States, residing in Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Three-Face Single- Blank-Display Containers, of which the following is a specification.

The present invention relates to cartons or containers formed by folding a blank, and particularly to display cartons or containers, and one object is to provide a carton or container comprising an inner or goods receptacle and an outer or enclosing receptacle for the inner receptacle when the carton is in assembled form, the .outer receptacle having a portion which provides a cover for the inner receptacle and which is convertible into a display face or display panel.

Another object is to provide a carton or container comprising an inner or goods receptacle and an outer or enclosing receptacle for the inner receptacle when the carton is in assembled form, the outer receptacle having a portion which provides a cover for the inner receptacle and which is convertible into a display face or display panel having an extended display tab.

Another-object is to provide a carton or container comprising an inner or goods receptacle. and an outer or enclosing receptacle for the inner receptacle when the carton is in assembled form, the outer receptacle having a covering portion which is convertible into a dis lay face or display panel, the display pane being maintained in an inclined display position by cooperation of a portion of the covering ortion and one end of the outer receptacle or forming an easel back or rest for the display panel.

I attain these objects by the invention one embodiment of which is described by way of example in the subjoined specification and shown in the accompanying drawings in which Figure 1, is a view, in extension, of the blank from which the carton is formed. Figure 2, is a perspective view of the carton in assembled form, the display panel being in display position.

Figure 3, is a sectional view on the line 3-3 of Fig. 2. looking in the direction of the adjacent section-arrows.

Figure, 4, is a sectional view on the line 4-4 of Fig. 2, looking in the direction of the adjacent section-arrows,

Figure 5, is a perspective view of the carton in partially assembled folded form, the inner receptacle being inverted prior to reception in the outer receptacle, and

Figure 6, is a perspective view of the inner and outer receptacles in assembled folded form, the covering portion being partially folded for providing either by extension thereof the cover for the inner receptacle, or by further folding a display panel having an easel-back or rest.

Similar reference characters denote similar parts throughout the several views.

Referring to Fig. 5, the carton, which is made of cardboard or other suitable foldable material, comprises the inner receptacle generally denoted by A, the outer receptacle generally denoted by B and the covering portion generally denoted by C.

The inner receptacle A comprises the bottom 10, the sides 11 and 12, and the ends 13 and 14.

,The outer receptacle B comprises the bottom 15, the sides 16 and 17 the free hanging end-filling pieces 18 and 19, the free hanging lock-tabs 20 and 21, and the ends 22' and 23; the end 14-of the inner receptacle and the end 22 of the outer receptacle constituting an intermediate connection between the inner-and outer receptacles.

The covering portion C comprises the d1splay panel 24 having the flap 25, the semicircular tab 26 cut from and foldably connected to the display panel, and the back brace panel 27. The display panel 24 and the back brace panel 27 are extended to provide the cover for the inner receptacle when the carton is in closed assembled folded condition; the panel 27 and the end 23 of the outer receptacle constituting by folding the back-brace and the base of an easel-back or rest for the display panel 24 when the carton is in open assembled folded condition and the display panel is in display position.

The carton being folded as shown in Fig. 5, to fully assemble it, the end-fillin pieces 18 and 19 of the outer receptacle are rought into lapping relation, the end 14 of the inner receptacle is carried over the endfilling pieces 18 and 19 and the bottom 10 is pressed down upon the bottom 15 of the outer receptacle. The display panel 24: and

the back brace panel 27 are drawn over the inner receptacle and the flap 25 is tucked into the inner receptacle adjacent and parallel to the end 14 thereof, being retained therein by engagement with said end and the sides of the inner receptacle. w

To arrange the display panel 24 in display position, the flap 25 is tucked between the end 13 ofthe inner receptacle and the lock-tabs 20 and 2lof the outer receptacle, and the back brace panel 27 is bent or folded on the line of connection to the end 23 of the outer receptacle, whereby the easel-back or rest shown in Figs. 2 and 3 is provided, the display panel 2 and the display tab 26 being maintained in an inclined position and having arrangedthereon such characteristic matter as may be desired. V,

To form the carton, the-blank is folded on its scoring and cuts to assume the form shown in Fig. 5, and is then further folded and arranged as described relative to Figs. 5 and 6.. 4

Having thus described my invention, it should be understood that there may be modifications thereof and variations therein without departing from the spirit of the invention, or exceeding the scope of the appended claims. i

What I claim and desire to protect by Letters Patent is: p

1. In a display container formed by folding, an inner receptacle; an outer receptacleconnected to the inner receptacle for receiving the inner receptacle; a covering portion; and means for connecting the cover)- ing portion to the outer receptacle; the covering portion when extended providing a closing cover for the container, and when folded providing with said means, a display panel and an easel back for the display panel.

2. In a display container formed by folding, an inner receptacle; an outer receptacle connected to the inner receptacle for receiving the inner receptacle; a covering portion; and means for connecting the covering portion to the bottom of the outer receptacle;
